Rebuild Bannock Street: 12th to 16th Street is complete. The project improves safety and connectivity for all modes of travel while upgrading streetscapes and critical infrastructure between the West Downtown neighborhood and downtown.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
1010 Jefferson: The Agency is redeveloping 1010 W. Jefferson St. into a multi-story, mixed-use building with approximately 446 parking stalls and active ground-floor uses. The $30 million parking system revenue bond closed on July 8, and the Agency’s trustee, Zion’s Bank, has received the bond proceeds, which represent the majority of the project funding. On July 13, the Board approved the final construction contract amendment and Okland Construction commenced work on July 17. Since the start of construction, crews have installed the rammed aggregate pier foundation system, installed various underground utilities, erected the tower crane, and continue to pour footings and grade beams.
The Treasure Valley YMCA will own and occupy one of the ground-floor condominiums for the Kissler Family Early Education Center. In February 2026, the Board approved an Amended and Restated Reservation Agreement with the YMCA. In November 2025, the Board approved a real property disposition policy and authorized a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the remaining five ground-floor commercial condominiums. The RFP was issued on January 7, 2026, with responses due April 7, 2026. One response was received by the deadline but was deemed incomplete. As a result, the RFP process was closed, and the Agency elected to dispose of the condominium spaces through a commercial real estate broker. The Agency issued an RFP for brokerage services on June 10, 2026, and selected Story Commercial LLC to perform those services on August 10. Project Lead: Alexandra Monjar
1111 W. State St. (Agency Owned Property): Formerly known as Block 69 North, this half-block parcel was acquired by the Agency through a land exchange with the YMCA in September 2024. Prior to the exchange, the previous owner cleared the property of all improvements. The property is currently vacant, and the Agency is using the property as a construction staging area in support of 1010 Jefferson. Project Lead: Aaron Nelson
821 W. State St. – Idaho Wheat Commission – PP Type 1: The Board approved a Type 1 Agreement with the Idaho State Building Authority on August 11, 2025, for a four story, mixed-use building which will replace the Idaho Wheat Commissions existing office building and provide space for additional tenants. Public improvements include new sidewalks, trees, silva cell systems, streetlights, and bike racks. The project is complete and reimbursement has been issued. Project Lead: Kassi Brown
INFRASTRUCTURE
Bannock Streetscape Improvements – 12th Street to 16th Street: This project includes streetscape improvements on both sides of Bannock Street between 12th Street and 16th Street to support connectivity for all modes of travel from the West Downtown neighborhood into downtown. The design aligns with ACHD’s Bannock Street Neighborhood Concept. To maximize public investment, the Agency entered into an Interagency Agreement with ACHD to include ACHD’s planned pavement rehabilitation and the replacement of the underground Boise City Canal crossing under Bannock Street east of 14th Street in the project scope. CSHQA led the design effort, and McAlvain Construction served as the Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC). The improvements on Bannock Street between 13th Street and 16th Street were completed in September 2025 as part of the first phase of the project. The Agency obtained approval of GMP 2 for the final phase of improvements between 12th Street and 13th Street at the March 9 Board meeting. Construction reached final completion in August 2026 and all roadways and pedestrian facilities are open to the public. Project Lead: Megan Pape
